REMITLY GLOBAL INC

Remitly used the Goldman Sachs conference to explain expanding the business beyond pure remittances and to introduce new initiatives such as Remitly Business, the Global Card and a partnership with Etsy. The company reported H1 growth of over 20%, more than 10 million active customers, and raised its full-year EBITDA margin guidance to about 20–21%. Artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate product development, cost efficiency and revenue growth, while higher transaction limits, new licenses (including UAE, Japan, Brazil) and concierge services bolster the business for high-volume transfers. Short-term regulatory effects and volatile transaction losses are cited as temporary headwinds, but management remains optimistic about long-term diversification and cash-flow strength. » Mere på de.investing.com
